Quick report

1 facet sluff which entrained old snow to the ground in birthday bowl. This slope had slid earlier in December. The structure in this area was shallow and weak, F hard to the ground. The sluff was larger than expected and shook trees with a large powder cloud. Debris was D1 in size but would have taken a skier through a rough ride through some nasty trees.
